SPAIN VS. THEjUNITED STATES. 
Spain. —It is said that ihe people of Spain 
have at last attempted a reform in agricul¬ 
ture, and that instead of their old races and 
bull fights, they have had a cattle show, 
which is to be triennial. A prize was 
awarded to an improved English Durham 
Bull. With great capabilities, Spain has re 
mained in the rear in the march of improve¬ 
ment, but symptoms of her awakening are 
becoming apparent in railroads and manu¬ 
factories, and at last in the substitution of 
the cattle show for the bull fight. 
United States. —In this country we are 
also undergoing a change. Our agricultural 
exhibitions, which have been for a long time 
so useful, so honorable, and so popular, are 
fast being transformed into annual horse¬ 
races. If this state of things continue, we 
may next look for the introduction of an¬ 
nual bull fights. This will keep up the 
equilibrium—as Spain goes up we go down.
